78 is what percent of 110
1 answer:
Answer: 70.909090909091%
Step-by-step explanation: Reading through the problem we have <em>78 is</em>, that's 78 equals, <em>what percent</em>, x/100, <em>of 110</em>, times 110.
It's important to understand that <em>percent</em> means over 100 so what percent would simply mean <em>x/100</em> or any variable but I will be using x.
So we have the equation
So cross canceling the 110 and 100 to 11 and 10, we have
Multiply both sides by 10 to get rid
of the fraction and we have 780 = 11x.
Now divide both sides by 11 and 70.909090909091 = x.
So, 78 is 70.909090909091% of 110.

Similar polygons only differ by a scaling factor. In other words, two polygons are similar if one is the scaled version of the other.
In particular, this implies that the angles are preserved, and the correspondent sides are in proportion.
These two polygons are both rectangles, so the angles are preserved. We must check the sides, and we have to check if the smaller sides are in the same proportion as the bigger sides.
So, the two rectangles are similar if the following is true.
In any proportion, the product of the inner terms must be the same as the product of the outer terms:
This is clearly false, and thus the two rectangles are not similar.
